An old video of Rahul with Bollywood star and Virat's wife Anushka Sharma has resurfaced online after singer and television personality Rahul Vaidya made fun of cricketer Virat Kohli for being blocked on Instagram. This has unpredictably exacerbated the already existing animosity between Rahul and Kohli's loyal fan base.

The video, which is thought to have been taken from a public event a few years ago, features Rahul singing to Anushka on stage in a sweet gesture. He serenades her with a romantic song and politely kisses her hand, a moment that was warmly received by the audience.

Despite the video's obvious innocence and lightheartedness, internet users are now using it as fodder for memes, making playful connections between this historical moment and Rahul's ongoing feud with Kohli's fans on social media.

Some fans have made light-hearted assumptions that Virat may have blocked Rahul on Instagram because of this endearing conversation between Rahul and Anushka. These theories are completely untrue, but they have sparked a lot of amusing responses online.

Rahul Vaidya recently made fun of Kohli's explanation of an alleged incident involving a like on a fan page for actress Avneet Kaur, which ignited the controversy. To the chagrin of Kohli's ardent supporters, Rahul publicly mocked the claim that the action was due to a "gap in the Instagram algorithm."

“So guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, as you all know. I think that too is an Instagram glitch,” Rahul quipped on his Instagram Stories. “Instagram k algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko ki, ‘Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kardeti hoon’. Hain na?”

Doubling down with more sarcasm, he added, “Main kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So, jo bhi ladki ho, please don’t do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram’s mistake, okay?”

As the digital back-and-forth continues to trend, the resurfaced Anushka video has only added a comical twist to the singer’s very public tussle with the cricket icon’s diehard fans.
